Question for the techies

Can it do the job? Is it a bit of an overkill? Would it be robbed?

Make sure the Video is MP4 and you should be ok

Sorry for repeating myself, but what about the loop play on the TV?

Ok so, looks like I need a smart TV with “auto play” and “repeat play” functions from USB. Hard enough to find that in the specs though.

Thanks for the help.

In the year 1984, rocket bombs and rats prey on the inhabitants of the crumbling metropolis of London. Far away on the Malabar Front, a seemingly interminable war rages against Eastasia. The Ministry of Truth broadcasts ceaselessly to the population via its inescapable network of telescreens. These devices, which pervade all aspects of peoples’ lives, are also capable of monitoring their every word and action.

To answer my own question.

Bit pricey though at £179 online. €240 in PC World.
I wonder if it’s worth it and fool proof for the future?
